Julian Sprung - Anemones

for some anemones this is the main form or reproduction.  i have had several
specimens of entamacea quadricolor in several different system reproduce
this way.  i have a color variant called the rose anemone that has split
over 10 times in the past two years.  unfortunately aiptaisia anemones also
reproduce by splitting or leaving pieces of their foot behind as they move.

i cant remember but i think daphne fautins book has information on this.  i
think the book is called "clownfish and host anemones" or something like
that.
